Pasilla chiles have a long, purple pod similar to ancho chile peppers.
Pasillas are one of the most popular chiles. Pasilla teams with ancho and mulato chiles (a version of ancho) to form the "holy trinity" used in making moles. They're great for sauces of all sorts. They clock in at 3-5 heat level, on a scale of 10.
Reminds me of my of safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.
